In early 2001 I began using Microsoft’s .NET Framework for a project I was working
on with a small startup company. Unfortunately, the winds changed and I found
myself with more free time than I would normally hope for. So when Manning Publications
asked me if I would contribute to a book on programming with the .NET
Framework, I welcomed the idea.
As events unfolded, I found myself with some fairly strong opinions about how
such a book should be organized, and offered up a proposal to write a solo book on
programming Windows Forms applications.

When you work with Windows Forms, you are working with the
System.Windows.Forms namespace
Most controls in .NET derive from the System.Windows.Forms.Control class
Many of these classes are themselves base classes for other controls, as is the case with the Label and TextBoxBase classes

This training kit is designed for developers who plan to take Microsoft Certified Technical
Specialist (MCTS) exam 70-526, as well as for developers who need to know how to develop Microsoft Windows–based applications using the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0. We assume that before you begin using this kit you have a working knowledge of Windows and Microsoft Visual Basic or C#.
By using this training kit, you’ll learn how to do the following:
Create a user interface (UI) for a Windows Forms application by using standard controls.
Integrate data in a Windows Forms application.

Four years after the .NET Framework first hit the programming scene, smart client applications
still refuse to die.
This is significant because when .NET first appeared, all too many people assumed it was
about to usher in a new world of Web-only programming. In fact, for a short time Microsoft’s
own Web site described the .NET Framework in a single sentence as a “platform for building
Web services and Web applications”—ignoring the Windows technology that made the company
famous.

Scattered throughout the tutorial there are a number of sections devoted more to explaining
the basics of XML than to programming exercises. They are listed here so as to form an
XML thread you can follow without covering the entire programming tutorial: Understanding XML and the Java XML APIs explains the basics of XML
and gives you a guide to the acronyms associated with it. It also provides an overview
of the JavaTM XML APIs you can use to manipulate XML-based data, including the Java
API for XML Parsing ((JAXP).

The term "Web Services Anywhere" means that web services can not only be used in any application, but
any application can offer web services. ASP.NET web services require the IIS to run; web services that make
use of .NET Remoting can run in any application type: console applications, Windows Forms applications,
Windows services, and so on. These web services can use any transport with any payload encoding.

Published just in time for the first release of Visual Basic Studio .NET, Programming Visual Basic .NET
is a programmer's complete guide to Visual Basic .NET. Starting with a sample application and a highlevel
map, the book jumps right into showing how the parts of .NET fit with Visual Basic .NET. Topics
include the common language runtime Windows Forms, ASP.NET, Web Forms, Web Services, and
ADO.NET.

If you are interested in writing programs for the new
Microsoft C# programming language, then C#: Your
visual blueprint for building .NET applications is the
book for you.
This book will take you through the basics of using
the Visual Studio Microsoft Development Environment
(MDE) window and familiarize you with the essentials
of C# programming. The book even covers advanced
topics including creating forms, macros, and Web
applications.

In this all-new third edition, you’ll be introduced to the fundamentals of C# and find updated coverage of application deployment and globalization. You’ll gain a working knowledge of the language and be able to apply it in the .NET environment, build Windows forms, access databases with ADO.NET, write components for ASP.NET, take advantage of .NET support for working with COM and COM+, and much more.

Different programming languages support different styles of programming (called programming paradigms). The choice of language used is subject to many considerations, such as company policy, suitability to task, availability of third-party packages, or individual preference. Ideally, the programming language best suited for the task at hand will be selected. Trade-offs from this ideal involve finding enough programmers who know the language to build a team, the availability of compilers for that language, and the efficiency with which programs written in a given language execute.

When you write stored procedures, triggers, and user-defined functions, you need to
decide whether to use traditional Transact-SQL or a programming language that is
compatible with the .NET Framework, such as Visual Basic .NET or C#. Transact-
SQL is best for situations in which the code primarily performs data access with little
or no procedural logic. Programming languages that are compatible with the
.NET Framework are best-suited for computationally-intensive functions and
procedures that feature complex logic or for situations where you want to take
advantage of the .

You should be familiar with your computer and its operating system.
For example, you should know the commands for deleting and
copying files and understand the concepts of search paths,
subdirectories, and path names. Refer to your Microsoft Windows 95
or NT and DOS product documentation for more information.
You should also understand the fundamentals of Microsoft
Windows, such as the elements of an application window. You
should also be familiar with such programs as the Explorer, Taskbar
or Task Manager, and Registry....

DrawTools sample shows how to create a Windows Forms application for drawing
graphic objects in a Windows client area using mouse and drawing tools. Drawing tools
implemented in this sample are: Rectangle, Ellipse, Line, and Pencil. There are wellknown
techniques for creating such type of applications, like: interaction with mouse,
flicker-free drawing, implementing of drawing and selection tools, objects selection,
managing of objects Z-order etc. MFC developers may learn all this stuff from MFC
sample DRAWCLI.

Get ready for the next release of Microsoft’s C# programming language with this essential Wrox beginner’s guide. Beginning Microsoft Visual C# 2010 starts with the basics and brings you thoroughly up to speed. You’ll first cover the fundamentals such as variables, flow control, and object-oriented programming and gradually build your skills for Web and Windows programming, Windows forms, and data access.

This book is about making web games with JavaScript for today’s most promising mobile platform—Android. Game development is a challenging subject. Games aim to simulate life in some form or another, and the more realistic you want a simulation to be, the more knowledge and skill you have to apply to make it believable. Video games is the place where mathematics— which is quite typical in programming—meets kinematics, optics, acoustics, artificial intelligence, art, music, and storytelling.
